  I wrote this May 5, 1992 MY EVERLASTING LOVE You are my light in the darkness My moon in the sky You are my everlasting love Without you I would die You are my sweet perfume on the wind My cherished memory You are my everlasting love Without you where'd I be You are my whispered words I cannot hear My dreams I can't forget You are my everlasting love I'd be lost had we not met You are my every thought at night My every candle wish I blew  You are my everlasting love And I know our love is true Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

*So, this is something I wrote in 1990. I would have only been around 15 years old and definitely not an expert on war. My attempt at writing something that wasn't about romantic heartbreak, I think. I truly hope this does not offend anyone. I have nothing but love and respect for all of our soldiers. Love, Eryn* A SOLDIER'S LAST WORD Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it back. But I am here, fighting in Iraq. The people I've shot, I've lost count. Thirty five? And I have no hope, to make it back alive. I'm getting called out, to end this war, But I don't have the strength to fight anymore. People say that I'm brave, to come over here. But inside I'm scared, I shake with fear. It's hard to believe, I've just now shot another! But I was raised to treat you as a brother. Please stay with me Lord, stay in my heart.  Don't let this war tear our world apart. "Oh God, I've been shot!" cries out one of my men. Two, three, four...he...

GIVING THANKS The year flies by, leaving you wondering Where the time has went. Then once a year, we get together And tell people what they've meant. Giggles and belly laughs While children run around. Really are the best things in life That I have ever found. Giving Thanks, sharing time And loving those that we hold dear. Sharing laughs, telling stories With those that we keep near. Spending time with loved ones Or even just a friend. That's all that really matters to us When life draws to an end. With family visits, brotherly love And early morning pranks. From my family, to you and yours Please know we're Giving Thanks. Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

*I wrote this piece in the 1990's. The beginning of it all.* TAKE BACK THE NIGHT   Take back the night The night of my pain The night and the memories  That will drive me insane Take back the anger The hate that I feel Take back the hurt It's all still too real Take back the fact That I wasn't your first Take back the others  That have quenched your sick thirst Take your own life You'd be better in death Take it or else I will take your last breath Take back the night The night of my rape Take back the memories That I will never escape Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

Hi All! Here is another one I wrote in my teens..I hope you enjoy it! TUG OF WAR   I try to get you off my mind But then you call my name You're running me in circles And I know it's all a game I’m sure that I don't want you back And your love I shouldn't miss Nor your strong, gentle arms Or your warm, tender kiss You're slowly becoming easy to hate But so hard to forget In fact you've brought me so much pain That I wish we had not met I deserve to be deeply loved But I deserve it from a man  And you are just a little boy Who can't seem to understand That love is not a game It's no Tug Of War There is just one rule to follow  It's worth fighting for Maybe one day soon  You'll grow up and realize That you lost the best love When we said our goodbyes I will never forget you Though you're a bad memory I plan to one day haunt your dreams Then maybe you will see That I gave you all of my love I could offer you no more But you will always be a boy ...

I just wanted to say that this is something I wrote in my teenage years. I found a notebook full of some of my writings yesterday. I hope you enjoy it! ❤️ FALLING OUT OF LOVE It's easy to fall but hard to let go  Always saying yes but wanting to say no Always giving in when all it brings is pain It's falling out of love that can drive a heart insane It's a gateway to emotions but a trapdoor to your heart It's finding your way out that proves the hardest part The more you try to make it work, the greater is the cost Anyway you handle it, it's always love that's lost It's written in the books that love is worth the pain But it's falling out of love that can drive a heart insane Original Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1990

  I’d Do It All Over Again I’m so lost without you I’m losing my mind I just can’t believe That you left me behind The love that we shared I thought it was real Surviving this breakup How will I deal Living without you Don’t know how to feel You broke my heart When you broke it’s seal Trying to function When I can’t even breathe The pain so intense I’m just starting to grieve Why can’t I let go I mean, you walked away Waking without you Day after day Trying to make it But struggling to move on Lost in our memories Now that you’re gone I know that I’ll heal But not soon enough Attempting to smile Though I’m feeling so rough Pain overwhelming Wish I felt numb People keep saying That I’ll overcome That the hurt will soon lessen And start to fade out I don’t think they know What they’re talking about When I lost you I lost my best friend I’m not sure that this pain Will come to an end Or that my broken heart Will ever mend But to experience your love I’d do it all over again Poetry Wri...

  Brother I loved you like a cold sore Your breath smelled like a fart And I was at my happiest When we were apart I remember when we were little You’d tug and pull my hair You'd give me mega weggies With my Underoo underwear Snitched on me to mom and dad After tricking me to tell about your gifts  Then I’d get in so much trouble And the punishments were swift And when I turned 12 years old I had to get those braces You’d call me names like Cheese Grader And make some funny faces Then as we became teenagers Your friends would flirt with me You would get so dang annoyed Which made me giggle happily You always got the front seat Because you forever called shotgun And when we fought like hooligans I knew I'd better run You loved Dungeons and Dragons I was forever into fashion And when you wanted to hurt me, you'd throw out my poetry For you knew it was my passion Then we grew up and you got married   And you gave me a new a sister And even when I moved away I hope she knew h...

She cocked her eyebrow, inadvertently  A knowing grin creased her face Carefully considering her next activity   T'was another day to practice grace The morning chores were all done The children's breakfast was completed Children fed and prepared for outdoor fun The mornings dishes had been attended Just the right time for a morning respite To sit outside and listen to the breaking day Enjoying a quiet peaceful moment   Alas, the traffic noises no longer at bay With pen in hand, and paper aside Considering her weekend list of chores She wrote her list, watching the pen glide It'll be a challenge to pass thru all the doors Charging forward with confidence & grace Attacking her list and completing each task The day passed fast, as she visited each place Imagining a completed list, she had another glass of wine Poetry Written By: William Pope Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar Reply Forward Add reaction

Those lovely green eyes  And those luscious full lips Brings to mind, a hearts highs & the classic beauty of old timey ships The freckles across the bridge of your nose Along with that knowing look Paste my heart with a schoolboy glow Making me write your poem in my book Your beauty is beyond compare Your long brown locks show a certain flair I love your eyelashes & eyebrow hair The dimples in your cheeks make me want to stare Your pointy chin is just perfect there Completing a beautiful face, I declare  And your earrings and the necklaces you wear Lend an air, so debonair Poetry Written By: William Pope Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH We’re like two multi faceted diamonds Many layers and many angles. Two beautiful charm bracelets  with bright sparkling dangles. Being in our heads sometimes Can be so hard to handle. Like running out of breath When blowing out a candle. Attempting to survive this world When there is so much that can trigger. Willing to always try to be The person that is bigger. Never try to outshine someone Though we will always strive to glow. With our matching gifts of empathy We’re always in the know. You might think I’m fascinating But in truth I think it’s you. Fitting all our puzzle pieces That we often want to glue. You and I were supposed to meet Our paths were meant to cross. But if you choose to walk away Then we will both be at a loss. So embrace all of your feelings That you have tried to keep compressed. Release your inner demons And I promise you’ll be blessed. So let’s walk this path together We don’t ever have to hurry. Because when we have each other’s backs...

If the Devil's in the details, Then the lines are being drawn. Can't believe we ever dated, As you are truly Satan's Spawn. So thankful things have ended, Before they could begin. I really want to take you down, But they say murder is a sin. So if the lines are being drawn, Then I suggest you get to walkin'. Because I'm tired of your face,  Don't ever want to hear you talkin'. Let's get your ass to movin', And be gone you dirty beast. Or I'll bring the fight right to ya, Because I don't like you in the least. The God's, they will protect me, All the Angels are comin' down. They're out to show you up, As They pound you in the ground. Lift you to the Heavens, Then drop you through the earth. Laughter in Their eyes, Their faces full of mirth. So if the Devil's in the details, Then God's the whole damn novel. And although He loves us all, He will not listen to you grovel. So slither and crawl your way, Back down through your h...

When it's all said and done I wish you all the best. For all the days that you were tired I hope you got that rest. For all the times you were unfiltered But still not quite up to task. I guess that now it's my turn To finally rip off my face mask. We're both embracing our new lives Mine is by myself. You replaced me rather quickly With someone only after wealth. I am choosing love, Personal growth and self healing. So glad to have no drama now Life is finally more appealing. So like I said before I wish you all the best. Don't invite me to your wedding I don't want to be your guest. I have genuinely moved on No reason for me to settle. Let's let bygones be bygones And never try to meddle. So I will say it one more time And I mean every word I say. What I'm about to tell you I mean in the nicest way. The book of you and I Is over and done with for good. Its time to live separate lives I hope you've understood. So good luck to you and Karen I hope your li...

  A Life Of Abuse You’re so full of anger, bitterness and rage. You’re like a permeated evil, that we need to sage. You scream and you yell. You belittle us all. You turn any conversation into a brawl. The way that you treat us, like we make you that way. I honestly can’t believe the things that you say. Why are you so miserable? So extremely hateful? If you’d ever show us love, we’d be eternally grateful. But instead it’s the same insufferable mood everyday. You make life so unbearable, we just might runaway. But instead of standing up to you like we know we should. We cower and collapse… like the meaning's understood. That we’ll never measure up, or be good enough for you. We can’t believe all the abuse that you've put us through. But it has to stop. We don't know what all it's for. The abuse is worse than ever before. If you don’t change your ways we’re all out that door. It has to end now. We can't take anymore. Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

Lost In My Thoughts Lost in my thoughts Lost in the day Wishing that things Were truly okay Fighting so hard To make it make sense Wishing I felt more Than just reverence Feeling so deeply With no one to share it Emotions so strong I wish I could bare it You tell me you care But then turn your back You fill me with words But sentiment you lack So I go through the motions While I’m hardly dealing Overwhelmed with sensations That I’m scarcely feeling Trapped in a corner Trying to guard my own back Wondering who will be  First to attack It’s like being in a funhouse With all of those mirrors Running into yourself Having to face your own fears Realizing you’ve got this And all on your own Don’t need an assist You can do it alone Now things make sense You’re no longer so frightened Lift your face to the sun Embrace all that is brightened You can now brave the world Just look at your smile You’ve slayed every battle And won every trial The ending is here There is no longer rife It’s time...
